I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a motorized, self-cleaning litter box so, when I saw the Omega Paw, I was instantly attracted. The price was right and I wouldn't have to worry about injuries, mechanical failures or the lack of the inclusion of a cover in the initial price.
I read most of the positive And negative reviews on Amazon, for this product. After much consideration, discussion and shopping around, I made the decision to purchase this product on Amazon.
I purchased the Large Omega Paw instead of the regular, because of the reviews.
For me, the Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box is 99%c Pro, 1%Con. Here's Why:
1.) Price. After doing some in-store comparisions, (Walmart, Target, Pet Co) I found that the price for the Omega was comparable for the function compared to standard litter pans and hoods that are priced separately. Most quality hard plastic pans and hoods would cost $15-$20 together. Sure, that's less than the Omega but, the pans and hoods don't have the unique function of the Omega. The large Omega costs $35 and I was able to get it with free shipping. The only retailer in my area that could possibly carry the Omega was Pet Co (I checked and even looked at Walmart and Target, etc) and they did not have any in stock. The friendly and helpful employee at Pet Co suggested I check on the Pet Co website, (I already had) and suggested that I might receive an S&H deal, (I would not have). For me, this was a good deal.
2. Function. The Omega is simple to use. It comes with a paper pamphlet but, the instructions are also molded into the plastic hardtop cover. Roll the Omega all the way over. You can see the clumps fall to the top and then to the side, the clean litter is filtered through the slits of the screen and the clumps fall into the pan. roll back over and onto the other side and then upright. Easy as that. Take out the pan, empty it out and place it back in and you have a clean litter box. I was using a litter purchased from Aldi's but, I purchased a box of Special Kitty clumping litter 28 lbs for $9. Comparable to most budget friendly litters. It works really well and does not hold the urine smell like the Aldi's brand did.
3. Quality. This is a plastic contraption. Plastic wears over time and breaks. I read a lot of complaints about the "latches" on the Omega. The "latches" are plastic sliders that don't always easily glide into the corresponding slots. I found that I have to align the sliders and slots visually and then add pressure to slide each side into place. None of my sliders were broken when I received this via S&H. If I had purchased in-store, I would have looked first to make sure the sliders weren't broken, I still suggest that buyers do that, if purchasing in-store.
It can be a little tricky to make sure the plastic sliders are fully engaged with the corresponding slots but all it's very simple to focus your attention on aligning the sliders with the slots and then use gentle weight to make sure the sliders and slots are engaged and then slide into place. Sounds like work? It really isn't.
3. Ease of use: Very easy. There is a slight learning curve but, it's very slight. It's actually pretty fun to use, as fun as it can be to clean a litter box. It sure beats using a scoop to take out every individual clump.
4. Cleaniness: The Omega is a pretty tidy structure. My kitty was a stray we took in. She took to be a homebody pretty quickly but, you can see her stray habits in the way that she eats and uses the litter box. My kitty is pretty keen on covering her scat and has no qualms about keeping her litter in the box. The Omega contains all of the litter spray with only bits and pieces of litter on the floor before the box that come from her stepping out with dirty paws. My kitty is also pretty particular about a clean litter box. Before the Omega, I would clean her litter box out once every other day but, with the Omega? I have no qualms about cleaning it Every Day. It's That easy and kind of fun to use.
The Con: I only wish that the Omega came with a flap for the entrance. One reviewer submitted a picture showing that they had added a flap and, it seems like it would be relatively simple to do, without comprimising the structure.
Even if the sliders break, i'm not the type of person that's just going to chuck this in the trash. I'll find a way to make it work with zip ties or twisty ties or duct tape or, whatever.
You might argue that for $35 bucks, the quality should be better and stuff shouldn't break. Well...what else are you going to find that's like the Omega, for $35? As far as I looked, Nothing. If you want to spend $50+ on something else, go ahead. As for me and my family? We're very happy with the Omega and will make it work for us. Even if it does break down in the future, we'll wait to see what Omega's customer service does for us. Who knows? They might be very accomodating.
Thanks for putting this product out, Omega!

This is my third purchase of an Omega-Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box. I love them, they are amazing, so I keep buying them. Obviously "self-cleaning" is a bit of a deceptive name, but you won't find a better non-motorized box out there.I have a 15lb cat, and she uses the Large size. It's a bit tight for her, and she usually sticks her front half out of the box while using it, as well as pushing the litter drawer out a few inches to make more space for herself. The Regular size would be way too small for her.The first box (light green color) did eventually break along the "fold line" of the internal litter divider. No biggie, it had given me 5+ years of solid service, so I purchased another, exactly the same. This one is still going strong, although I have managed to cause white "dent marks" to appear on the lid from pressure.I just received my third litter box. I really wanted the "pewter" color this time, rather than the light green. I was REALLY pleasantly surprised to discover that they have improved many aspects of the construction in just the last few years my last purchase of one (since 2014), so please consider this review as opposed to reviews older than that date. (As well, you may get different models from different sellers, and it seems that all the reviews may get lumped together equally regardless of who you purchase from. I received the "newer" model from Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box, Pewter specifically)Additionally, it should be noted that my preferred litter is "World's Best Cat Litter", and I find it works very well with this box, in additional to being flushable.One of the main issues that people have complained about has been the sliding "latches" that keep the two halves together. Instead of sliding latches, the design now has "clasps" that you snap down in place. They are fairly large, and VERY snug (it was a bit of a wrestle to get them clicked into place, actually), so this should alleviate any issues of them two halves of the box coming apart when rolled over (yes, this has happened to me as well, but I always found it to be user error in my case.)The plastic for the entire box is clearly a denser, sturdier material than previously. Although, I would not have called it flimsy, as some have, it did take the aforementioned dents on top. It no longer has a "paw print" pattern over the top of the box, but instead a sunken section that seems intended to reinforce the strength when rolled. The waste-scoop is likewise of a sturdier plastic; my previous scoops have had mild bows inward on both sides. This scoop is clearly of sturdier material, not bowed, and they have added an ridged thumb tab of a separate, inserted piece of plastic, to the handle.Internally, the "tabs" on the floor of the box have been made larger, and rounded, and seem more likely to keep the "vent" section of the internal divider from popping out (which happens occasionally when I disassemble for a thorough cleaning, and have not yet sealed the lid back on. I then have to move the litter out of the way to find the tabs again.)A very small detail, but they added an iridescent logo above the box entrance, as opposed to the raised plastic letters and logo that had previously been there.In all, the company has clearly taken feedback and made specific improvements based upon that. So, what I always found to be a great product (and recommend to everyone), is better than ever! I've included a picture of the product description that came with it, as you can see most of the improvements in this image (including where they point to the new clip design).

My cats had a bit of an adjustment to it - I think the "door" is a bit smaller than on their previous box. One cat rebelliously pooped right outside the box. But they seem to have gotten used to it now, and even kick out less litter than they used to.
